EXAMINATION CHAIR REPLACEMENT

The Indian Health Service, Navajo Area, Crownpoint Service Unit intends to award a sole-source contract to Henry Schein for the purchase and installation of new dentistry cabinets to upgrade the Dental Central Sterile Room at the Pueblo Pintado Clinic, a satellite facility under Crownpoint. The immediate need arises because current cabinetry fails to meet infection control and sterilization standards essential for patient and staff safety, as well as compliance with Joint Commission accreditation requirements. The acquisition, valued below the simplified acquisition threshold, will proceed without public competition due to an urgent and compelling situation, with a projected performance period of one year from the date of award. The contract falls under NAICS code 339114, which pertains to dental equipment and supplies manufacturing, with a small business size standard of 750 employees. Vendors may submit capability statements to demonstrate their ability to fulfill the requirement, but only written submissions received via email to Janice.Martinez@ihs.gov by July 24, 2026, will be considered; verbal responses will be disregarded. This notice is not a solicitation, and the government retains full discretion to determine whether to proceed with a single-source award or reopen competition based on responses. The primary point of contact for inquiries is Janice Martinez, Supervisory Contract Specialist, reachable via email or phone at 505-786-6216. The place of performance is located in Crownpoint, New Mexico, with the contracting office based in Window Rock, Arizona.
